Consider the complexes. (i) [ Pd ( NH ₃ )₂ ClBr ] (ii) [ Pd ( NH ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ ] (iii) [ Pd ( en ) Cl ₂ ] (iv) [Pd(en) ClBr ] (v) [ Pd ( en )₂ ] Cl ₂ (en = ethylenediamine) The total number of geometrical isomers of (A) is same as the total number of geometrical isomers of
Options
- A(ii)
- B(iii)
- C(iv)
- D(v)
Correct answer
A. (ii)
Step-by-step solution
(i) [ Pd ( NH ₃ )₂ ClBr ] (ii) [ Pd ( NH ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ ]M a₂ b cM a₂ b₂ G.I =2 G.I =2 cis and trans cis and trans (iii) [ Pd ( en ) Cl ₂ ] (iv) [ Pd ( en ) ClBr ] Maab ₂M a b c G . I =3 G.I =3 (v) Pd ( en )₂ Cl ₂ Ma ₂ ~b ₂ G . I =4 So, only (i) and (ii) have two, i.e. same number of geometrical isomers.
